I grew up culturally Christian. My earliest memories of Easter was Easter baskets, egg hunts, and chocolate. The fact that Jesus rose from the dead was just the excuse to indulge in all of the other stuff Easter is known for. Now as a devout believer, I want to create an environment for my children to “live” the biblical story and to try to make Easter as big as or bigger than Christmas.
We are going to start having a Passover meal (NOT a Seder) on Good Friday (regardless of when Passover is on the Jewish calendar) so that we can experience what little bit we can about what the Exodus could have been like for the Hebrew people, to connect Jesus’ last supper to the Passover, and to have my children understand that Jesus died on Good Friday and that the Sabbath before Easter Sunday can be one of anticipation of our Lord’s resurrection.
Here’s the menu: Traeger smoked lamb leg with horseradish sauce, unleavened garlic parsley flatbread, and a “bitter herb” salad consisting of romaine lettuce, endives, and radicchio.
Just felt like sharing and if anyone else tries to do things with family to live in the biblical story I’d love to hear it!
